Hi I got the Mini Shield for NanoPi NEO Core2.

But it don't see it.

So I don't think it sees it right?

Should it see it?

It has built in 8GB that boots from it does see the SD card and will boot from that.

I got a USB SSD reader and put a image on it but it just boots from the built in 8GB then and when it boots from there a fdisk -l still don't see the SSD.

I guess it's like the SD cards they say tested with it that worked. But they don't tell what brand SSD works with this.
